I did look them up and the ones who worked with leather and fur made sense as they lived in Bermondsey Leather Market in Surrey and the Lighterman as all thru the family all the sons did the same and lived in Greenwich by the Thames but the other one got me so it was like a licensee or a glorified barman/maid

How odd are the occupation names way back just today I came across a Jappaner & a Virtualler? never had a clue what either one would have involved but was positive Virtualler would be something to do with taking photo's & I was wrong lol has anyone else got any I have also had a lighterman a skinner and a kidcalfman interesting to guess what they are (mind u simple things please simple minds lol)   ;D
